Recruiting is difficult. Hiring an awesome employee is a very personal experience for both the candidate and the hiring team. Candidates have aspirations, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. Recruiters have the same, with the added pressure of big hiring goals to hit. We’ve been curious to know more about the things corporate recruiters perceive to being in their in…

I have had a few of these types of managers in the past - the types that for some reason intimidate and belittle the candidate even before the interview begins OR within the interview goes so far south in the way they question the candidate.

Here are just a few things recruiters can do to sweep hiring managers off their…

The adoption of the new social media platforms by many employees is of great concern to IT leadership across the country. New technologies can be easily utilized by employees most usually at the expense of the enterprise security, but that is very often not spoken about. I read continuously about the smarter employee, the better employee, etc… yet find little information discussing the enterprise effect of such adoption. Social media though important does not offer the large benefit or…

I must say this is one of the best lines I have read in a long time and such a forgotten trait of an experienced manager looking for the best people.

Don't say, "I'll start that tomorrow morning" or "I'll do that after ____" because it creates a sense of non-urgency in your subconscious.
